Choose a character, then drag and drop the different symbols onto your character to create your music.

Click on the circle icon with three stripes on it (top left hand corner) and press the record button.

You can add and remove sounds as it is recording to change the texture.

Once finished, press the record button again and save your work.

Do not use your real name as this will appear on Incredibox’s playlist.

Next email it to me at music@st-peters-sittingbourne.kent.sch.uk and I will put your work in the Music Page Gallery. You can put your real name in the email so I know who it is from, as only I can see this. You can also share your work to the school Facebook page.

This week, it would be lovely if the children could learn the song Keep Calm and Carry On to celebrate the anniversary of VE day on Friday. It is Friday’s song on the Week Seven activities from Out of the Ark and can be found here:

Once you’ve logged into Collins Connect, select Music Express from the menu page, click on Lesson Bank and choose your child’s Year group. There are activity ideas and Teachers’ notes to give you ideas what to do, and there are songs to learn for each lesson. When instruments are required, try using household objects such as empty bottles filled with rice, empty boxes or saucepan and wooden spoon as a drum ..... use your imagination and go wild!

Year 2

Pattern Butterfly Song

Activity 1 Listen to Butterfly song and join in as the words become familiar.

Activity 2 Make a ‘butterfly’ with your hands like the one in the picture. Listen to the track, which repeatedly counts a steady beat. Ask children to join in by tapping their ’butterfly legs’ on a table, while counting the beats (they can do this with individual fingers or threes together): 12312 3

Practise slowly at first without the audio if this helps.

Activity 3 Look at the image and count out each rhythm pattern, making a silent action on each silent number to mark the gap, e.g. ‘bendy leg’ is silent on two then on three: 1 (2) 3 1 2 (3)

Listen to Butterfly rhythms. Each rhythm has a count in of three beats. After a gap the rhythm is repeated. Which picture matches?

Practise clapping the rhythms, giving a three-beat count in to come in together.

Activity 2

The Magic Porridge Pot – Watch and listen to The magic porridge pot musical. Discuss how the traditional story has been transformed by the inclusion of songs, a chant and musical interludes.

Watch again and use a pan and wooden spoon, vocal sounds and body percussion to join in with the sound effects.

Activity 3 – use the story board to retell the story to somebody else (maybe use Facetime or Skype to tell it to a family member in another house) Can you add suitable sound effects too?

Dear Parents,

I would like the children to continue their music learning while we are not at school by using the BBC programmes in the link below:

Each episode features part of the story and a song to learn and there are lots of resources, such as colouring sheets, word-searches, listening activities, music activities and sheet music as well as backing tracks. I would suggest only completing one episode per day (and not every day!), and trying to explore the musical ideas as suggested in the resources.

I would love to see pictures or videos of any activities you have completed – maybe you could draw pictures, re-write the story or record your own version of the song using the backing track.

Please upload any pictures or videos to the St Peter’s Healthy Active Club Facebook page.

Happy music making!

Love from Mrs Michell
